Gentle re-ping for leaderboard maintainers (@YassineYousfi @adeebshihadeh @sshane):

One-line co-#1 controls entry (6.880, same method class as existing crown).

• CI green; preview: https://comma-web--pr333-rjjh3x8x.web.app/leaderboard#controls_challenge
• Solution: https://github.com/VeigaPunk/comma-controls-challenge
• Official form + work@comma.ai already submitted

If external PRs to leaderboard.html aren't the preferred path, a staff commit with the same row from the form queue is perfect. Happy to close this PR if you land it that way.
